Rated R
117 min
Two brothers, Andy and Hank, organize the robbery of their parents' jewelry store. Both men are
desperate for money, fueled by a variety of vices, addictions and compulsions. Andy has devised
a foolproof scheme to end their money worries, rob a mom-and-pop jewelry store in a suburban mall
in Westchester County. Neither he nor Hank is a thief, cheating and embezzlement aside, but the
heist would be an inside job; the brothers' parents own the store. Putting issues of impropriety
aside, the plan has advantages: The brothers know the layout of the shop, the habits of its
proprietors, location of keys and alarms, and their parents could collect insurance on the stolen
goods. The crime should be victimless, but goes horribly wrong, triggering off a series of events
that send them and their family hurtling towards a shattering climax. Starring Ethan Hawke, Albert
Finney, Marisa Tomei, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Aleksa Palladino. Directed by Sidney Lumet.

In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis and her family live a life of wealth and

an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner, the
educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister
Cecilia. Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings. Briony, who has a crush on Robbie, is
compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and
Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested - and with Briony bearing false
witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for
her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path
